After last year’s exhausting effort to cobble together a 1976 chart, as enjoyable as it was, I’ve this year asked some of my fellow bloggers to do the hard work and make their choices of tracks they’d like to hear in a festive chart. Here then, is part one, featuring the rundown from that all important number 50 to 41.
I hope you enjoy this chart: it’s reminiscent of the late ’70s 50s, with a mixture of a few old gems and lots of contemporary classics. Rather than do the segways myself, I’ve got in the professionals this time round, although I have to admit, there are one or two discrepancies between the track introduced and the one played.
The Fades in Slowly 2009 Festive 50 part 1
50 Lo Cut a Sleifar – Aduniad (Adam – Fades in Slowly)
49 Richard Hawley – Open up your door (Davy – Ghost of Electricity)
48 Vaughan Williams – Fantasia On A Theme Of Thomas Tallis (Steve – Teenage Kicks)
47 Readymades – Terry Is My Space Cadet (Stewy – Mr. Obscure)
46 The Keith Mansfield Orchestra – Soul Thing (Dave – Planet Mondo)
45 The Big Pink – Velvet (Ed – 17 seconds)
44 Aidan Moffat & the Best-ofs – Big Blonde (Jim – Vinyl villain)
43 The Magnetic Fields – Nothing matters when we’re dancing (Adam – Pretending life is like a song)
42 Four Tet – Love Cry (Kris – Burning World)
41 Richard Addinsell – Southern Rhapsody (Steve – Teenage Kicks)
Thank you to the wonderful bloggers who are making the chart possible.
Listen now!
Remember when TV closed down for the night?
Peelhead and music lover. Please let me know what you think about the music you find here. It gets lonely when you don't leave comments.

I think of the five songs I chose (of which more in a minute) The Magnetic Fields’ song would be the One – I can’t quite imagine that there was a time when it wasn’t around, and that emotional timelessness is the surest sign of all that something has really struck home.
Doing a list of five was nigh on impossible in a good way – my five was made ridiculous by omissions but it couldn’t be any other way. I like the way you can make a representational list – something to stand for new wave, something for recent years, something for the sixties…
Anyway, thank you for doing this Adam, I look forward to having a listen.
Speechless.
Oh my that is genius.. love the Peely links. Incredible selections it’s like a purist pick ‘n’ mix..
Believe me, it gets better. Expect 40 to 31 today, tomorrow at the latest.
A good start
